THE MAD KING 1: THE FAKE BRIDE

**Aila was never meant to be queen.**  



She was never meant to be anything more than a cup-holder beside her gorgeous sister, Akila.  



But when Akila refuses to marry the Mad King, Aila must take her place—by committing the most forbidden act in the kingdom.



A soul-switching spell.



It was supposed to last three months. Three months, and she’d be free. But Akila tricked her, and now, Aila is trapped.  



Trapped in her sister’s body.  

Trapped in a kingdom that despises her. 

Trapped in a marriage to a man who never wanted a bride.



But nothing is more terrifying than the Mad King, her husband himself.



King Ahsan—the faceless beast, cruel, unreadable, and dangerously sharp. 



The man the world fears. The man whose black eyes haven’t left her since the moment she arrived.  



Now Aila must hide her secret, navigate the deadly palace, and survive the cold, ruthless king she calls her husband. 



But what exactly is Ahsan? 



A monster, as they say?  



Or something far worse—a broken man, cursed and craving something he cannot name?



Something she was never meant to give.



Find out.
